Advising - Merry Eyman

The office provided 25 probation workshops recently, with 41 more scheduled from February 9 through the beginning of March.

Merry is meeting with deans on Thursday to resolve the issue of holds and who can clear them. Right now, a student goes to the University Advisement Center if her/his major is undeclared, and goes to a department with a declared major [with the exception of Arts & Humanities students, who are instructed to always see Dr. Carol Tubbs]. Helen reminds us that information like this can be added to and read by students in the Notes area of PeopleSoft.

One UAC staff member was assigned to handle enrollments in remedial English, and the result was very smooth.

Merry gets complaints about long waits when telephoning UAC. She is remedying this with the hiring of student assistants and the installation of additional telephone lines.

Merry is developing a UAC handbook.

Advising continues to be mandatory for students with undeclared majors. Instructions about this will be provided at new student orientations (NSOs).

Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) - Katrina Hermoso

EOP is offering orientations on February 20 and March 13. After that, EOP staff can finalize the admissions list.

The EOP cohort has 125 members.

New Student Orientation (NSO) - Marco Dowell

Marco is meeting with Andy McDaniel, Randy Zarn, and Brandy McLelland to discuss allowing attendees to pay NSO fees online. But there probably isn't enough time to update Marketplace before the next NSO.

Technical - Michael Kelley

A minor fix for Asset Management will be applied to HDHCNV and HDHTST this week.

The tech folks are always working to improve system performance.

Michael Galant notes that he sees CP, rather than toroMail, addresses in his PeopleSoft rosters. Michael Kelley asked Michael G to send him an e-mail about this so that he, Michael K, can direct it to the proper people.
